Quality not that great as reviews made me believe

I don't like this microphone at all. I used it for a skit and did multiple tests with it and it just wasn't doing what I needed it to do. The audio of my g85 was better than this. You only get the most if you're extremely close to the mic the entire time.
Nice to have stereo and mono

Overall I really like this mic and the stereo/mono feature. I am still working on finding its sweet spot for distance and mic amp ratio. The audio without the +20 dB seems lower than I expected. I've already shot a few videos with it and I like the quality of the sound once I amplify it in post.
Works great

The stereo system works really well and I like being able to switch between shotgun and stereo.

Good for beginners. Not too notch quality but use friendly. Good to use so long as it's not primary audio.
background noise ?

Hi ! I have this microphone for a couple ofmonths and i used it for filming events (weddings in particular). I noticed that it captures a lot of background noise. Is anyone having this problem ? What settings do you use ? I use this mic in combination with a Panasonic hmc 150 which has a poor build in microphone. I give two stars, just for this reason only !
